Information Thomas M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs. Beyond that, it’s useful to let me know the kind and amount of care you want for your pet, and a basic daily schedule of your dog’s routine.

A typical day

It’s important to provide dogs with enough mental and physical activity, where the right kind and amount depends on their individual temperament. I make sure to provide daily outdoor time, like walks or visiting the park, and playtime with favorite toys.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for my family's dogs since I was 8 years old (at least!). I have taken care of dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes (small to very large), and ages (puppies to elderly dogs), and I have experience with dogs who require specialized attention due to medical and age-related conditions, extreme anxiety, behavioral challenges (such as leash-reactivity), or house training. I enjoy getting to know each dog and their particular personalities and quirks!

I can’t recommend Thomas highly enough! He took wonderful care of both our dog and our home while we were away. He was incredibly responsible, attentive, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that everything was in such capable hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that was absolutely spotless. Having someone stay in your home and care for a beloved pet requires a lot of trust, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would have him back in a heartbeat and feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Anyone who books him should feel very confident that their pets and home will be exceptionally well cared for.

Thomas stayed with my dogs for a week while I was out of town. He sent regular updates and was very responsive. He was great with the dogs and left my place tidy and clean! Highly recommend his services!

Thomas did an excellent job walking and giving our dogs attention. We have a pittie and hound dog mix. Both can be high energy at times and Thomas walked both of them together with ease. He also gave them play time in the yard if they still had energy. I really appreciated his use of the report card, attaching photos and notes for the day. I was at total ease during my business trip. I knew my pups were happy and tired after a midday play date with Thomas. I would 1000% use him again and recommend him to others.

Thomas was once again outstanding. Our dog had an amazing time with him and he sent updates every day while we were away. He was even flexible enough to stay an extra day due to travel issues. You will not be disappointed picking him!
